Align Technology founder Zia Chishti conceived of the basic design of InvisAlign while an adult orthodontics patient. During his treatment with a retainer intended to complete his treatment, he posited that a series of such devices could effect a large final placement in a series of small movements. In the United States, ClearCorrect is the major competitor of Invisalign. You need to wear Invisalign trays for most of your day (20–22 hours/day) in order to see results.
- One of the best reasons to invest in Invisalign is how comfortable these aligners are to wear.
- Align Technology has since developed its own patented thermoplastic material, SmartTrack®.
- Seeing digital predictions of your tooth movement and end results can be a strong motivator for sticking with your customized treatment plan.
- You can also sign up for a payment plan with either Invisalign or Clear Correct, which helps make the clear aligners affordable and accessible.
- If you’re experiencing a medical issue, please contact a healthcare professional or dial 911 immediately.

Advantages of Invisalign for Adults and Teens
The aligners differ from traditional braces because you need to remove them before you eat or before you drink any non-clear liquid. If you had braces at one time but didn’t wear your retainers, chances are that your teeth have shifted back to where they were, at least partially. Invisalign is usually perfect in these cases because the initial orthodontic treatment took care of the major alignment issues. And since most people only need minor adjustments, they can usually complete Invisalign in just 6-12 months. Treatment time – In many cases, Invisalign is faster than traditional orthodontic treatment. The average treatment time is just 9-18 months, as opposed to months for metal braces.
How long do Invisalign results last?
I couldn’t be happier and honestly believe the next time I have to visit will be that little bit more easier. Clear aligners feel more like the texture of your actual teeth than metal brackets and wires do. Traditional braces can rub on your cheeks, causing them to feel raw. Many people prefer the at-home biweekly change in clear aligners to the sometimes painful tightening of wires by orthodontists.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal, before placing your Invisalign aligners back in your mouth. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.
